Previously under Richt at Georgia. Seems like a good hire. Wonder why Richt didn't take him to Miami
He was at Bama for 3 NCs. Went to Georgia, then FSU the following year. Seems like he's hopped around the last few years but his reputation is solid.
This is good. Will make for a smooth transition when we hire Jimbo Fisher in December.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
Heisman... Give it to him.
Sumlin will burn down his ability to do his job just like he did with Jackson and Chavis.

Seems like a very good hire.
On a related note, I don't think this is about Larry Jackson's knowledge as a S&C coach, but rather about how motivated or lack thereof he made the players. The short news I've read up on this guy is that he's a motivator. He served under Scott Cochran of Bama who is an absolute firecracker of a motivator and constantly keeping those guys on their toes. Larry Jackson did not come across as that type of guy at all. He clearly knows what he's doing as he got the highest honor in S&C (http://www.theeagle.com/aggie_sports/football/a-m-s-jackson-receives-strength-and-conditioning-award/article_005d06f0-095d-547a-a941-8dc79074a125.html), but he seems very laid back and soft spoken.
I've seen people saying Sumlin let Jackson go as a scapegoat for his own inadequacies, and I couldn't tell you for sure if that's the case. What I do know is that to be successful in the gauntlet that is the SEC, you got to have these kids competitive at every step, and that includes of course the physical part of S&C. However, as this hire makes clear, the mental and motivational part of S&C is equally as important.

Hires like this prove Sumlin is a great coach. No one wins the offseason like Sumlin.
Zoo- Must hire guy from Bama or the SEC
AD- We just hired a guy from Bama with other very large very successful schools on his resume.
Zoo- He still sucks

Yes
I'm more of a fan of his brother Mike.
Agent: We want 2 years guaranteed.
BMA: No. It will be 4 years guaranteed, payable within 60 days of termination.
Agent: Ok, we accept your deal.
BMA: Sounds great. We'll get the contract over to you. *hangs up phone*
BMA: *picks up phone* Hey John, buddy, I still got it. He is ours, and they accepted my terms.

At least our linebackers won't be as winded as they used to be while trying to chase down all those RB's running loose in the secondary.
Report back at the end of next season.

might be a good recruiter during official visits.

This makes no sense at all. The knock on Sumlin has been that he isn't involved enough. Def not a micro manager.
sometimes the players need a different voice talking / yelling at them to do their workouts
